Introduction
3
By joining ancient knowledge with modern design processes, we developed
products and systems designed to convert any person into a gardening and
urban cultivation enthusiast
We started with the innovative Minigarden® Vertical, followed by the
Minigarden® Corner and the Minigarden Irrigation Solutions® and, early this
year, we launched the Minigarden® Basic and the line of nutrition and
protection supplements, Minigarden® Grow Up & Bug Off.
The Minigarden® Vertical and the Minigarden® Corner can be used separately
or combined, providing a greater extent and flexibility of uses, and, when
coupled with the Minigarden® watering solutions they become even more
simple and convenient, allowing a greater success in cultivation.
Minigarden® Basic is the new solution for the “lazier” and less accustomed to
these things, who will be able to gain an introduction to the wonders of
plants without having to do much to see them grow.
Minigarden® Grow Up are three new types of nutritious supplements for
plants, which, when used in conjunction with irrigation, complement and
facilitate successful plant growing. Minigarden® Bug Off offers two new
solutions to stimulate and strengthen plants’ natural defences against pests
and diseases.
The range will be broadened with new models and products, increasing the
number of solutions and the ease of urban cultivation.
Welcome to the Urban Green Revolution®.

Minigarden® Vertical
5
What is it The Minigarden® Vertical is a modular system that allows the vertical
growing of ornamental, aromatic and vegetable plants.
The Minigarden® Vertical is freestanding, self-draining and can be installed
inside or outside, depending on the plants grown.
The Minigarden®'s modularity permits to design and install vertical gardens
of any dimension very easily, leaving full room for your creativity.
In this cross-section we can see how the modules fit into each other, as well as the substrate filling.
6
Design and modularity Each module of the Minigarden® Vertical system comprises only 4 easily
mounted parts: a lid, 6 circular clips, a central recipient with 3 cavities and
a base tray.
The assembly is very simple and the possibilities are limitless. Its modular
features permit to stack it both vertically and horizontally, in a single row or
back-to-back, creating countless combinations.
The Minigarden® Vertical can be very easily installed inside or outside,
embedded in or attached to walls or gables.

The Minigarden® Vertical system versatility and simplicity permits an easy

these pictures.
The Minigarden® Vertical can be wall mounted, by fixing the circular clips to
the adjoining wall with the help of screws and washers.

Sustainable and durable The combination possibilities are only limited by your imagination,
considering that, besides its modular forms, you can also play with the
plants varieties and colors to create unique effects, with the benefit of being
able to easily replace the plants after installing the Minigarden® Vertical.
The Minigarden® Vertical is made of high resistance polypropylene
copolymer and includes additives for protection against ultraviolet rays,
which allows it to be used in extreme weather conditions (solar radiation
and temperature), having a ten-year guarantee for its integrity. It is also
reusable, fully recyclable and available in 5 colors.
9
For large scale settings or when greater convenience and autonomy are
needed we developed an unique watering system for the Minigarden® Vertical
consisting of a micro tube (Ø ext 6.5mm) with integrated drip feeders or a
porous micro tube (Ø ext 7mm), both hidden inside the module, a pressure
reducing filter and a collecting tube that feeds the micro tube through T-
branches. Additionally, it’s possible to install a liquid fertilizer dosing device
to convert the system to ferti-watering or semi-hydroponic, as well as a
system programmer.
The micro watering tube is installed in each module, passing through the
inner hole of the clip which is mounted on the module's top.
The Minigarden® Vertical was designed with an innovative gravitational
drainage mechanism. This feature ensures that all excess irrigation water at
the plants roots will be drained to the tray at the unit base. This system is
very important to ensure the planting sustainability in the long run.

At the bottom of each module there are small grills (2 per cavity), through which the excess water runs to the tray directly below the corresponding module and, after that, to the tray at the assembly base.

Minigarden® Vertical has inspired countless architects who have created
unique projects in such places as Hong Kong, Spain, Dubai, Netherlands,
Portugal, etc.
Its unique features are the best solution to create vertical landscaped spaces
in any size, with a guarantee of easy installation and maintenance and at an
extremely competitive cost compared to other systems.
The only limit for the Minigarden® Vertical potential is your creativity,
because, although mini, it allows to achieve big results.

Minigarden® Vertical & Corner
25
The combined use of the Minigarden® Vertical and the Minigarden® Corner
brings about a real revolution in the world of vertical cultivation module
systems.
The interconnection possibilities of the two products are huge.
The ends of the Minigarden® Vertical can be finished with plants through
longitudinal connections with the Minigarden® Corner.

26
The ends of back-to-back assemblies of the Minigarden® Vertical can be
finished with plants through longitudinal connections with the Minigarden®
Corner.
This kind of freestanding assembly can be made higher, by stacking more
Minigarden® Vertical and Minigarden® Corner modules, or longer, by using
more Minigarden® Vertical module columns.
It can be used to divide spaces, both outdoor (esplanades) and indoor
(offices), in the form of plant partitions.
27
Design and modularity
The simple Minigarden® Vertical assemblies mounted in 90º vertical planes
can now be connected with the Minigarden® Corner. This kind of setting will
additionally guarantee greater stability in the Minigarden® Vertical
assemblies.
28
Design and modularity
Finally, we suggest square or rectangular freestanding assemblies, in which
all the outside surfaces are covered with plants.
29
Design and modularity
The watering system installation in the various combined assemblies of the
Minigarden® Vertical with the Minigarden® Corner shown in previous pages
is similar to the one used with the Minigarden® Vertical only.
The system consists of a micro tube (Ø 6.5mm) with integrated drip feeders
or a porous micro tube (Ø 7mm), both hidden inside each Minigarden®
Vertical and/or Minigarden® Corner module.
The different micro tubes at each module level are connected, through the T-
branches, to the water feeding collector. This main water feeding tube should
have a pressure reducing filter; additionally, it’s possible to install a liquid
fertilizer dosing device as well as a system programmer.
The micro watering tube is installed in each module, passing through the
inner hole of the clip which is mounted on the module's top.

Minigarden® Micro Irrigation Solutions
31
Good watering is critical to the growth and health of the plants. The plants
grown in the Minigarden® Vertical and Minigarden® Corner are no exception.
The innovative gravitational drainage system of the Minigarden® Vertical and
Corner solves the problem of excess water (from rain or irrigation). Water
which is not absorbed by the plant is directly drained to the tray at the
assembly base.
This drainage technology eliminates the passing of any excess water from
the plants in the top modules to the plants in the bottom ones, essential
factor to guarantee the growth and survival of healthy plants.
For this reason, all the plants grown in the Minigarden® Vertical and
Minigarden® Corner need to be watered.
The Minigarden® micro watering system, intuitive and easy to use and
automate, makes watering easy and convenient. By integrating a fertilizer
dosing device, the plant nutrition becomes a simple and efficient task.
These features give the Minigarden the ability to re-create the best natural
airing and moisture conditions.

Minigarden® Basic
36
What it is Minigarden® Basic is the simplest and easiest system to use of the
Minigarden family.
Minigarden® Basic is a plant growing system ideal for those starting out in
gardening or for people who do not want to worry too much about the
essential basic care needed for plants to grow, specifically irrigation and
nutrition.
Thanks to an ingenious system for storing water with nutrients and
irrigation, Minigarden® Basic allows ornamental plants, aromatic plants or
small vegetables to be grown and maintained without the need for the usual
daily care, as the system ensures regular irrigation and nutrition according
to the plants’ needs.
Minigarden® Basic is the easiest and most efficient system on the market for
looking after and growing plants successfully. There is no need for users to
even dirty their hands when planting, just insert 2 normal pots containing
the chosen plants and watch them grow.
